Notes
• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit and
all speaker cords.
• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an
outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
• A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception
than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an
outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult the nearest
authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor
antennas.
Frequency Step (Asia and General
models only)
Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in
different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP (using SET
MENU) according to the frequency spacing in your area
(see page 43).
• North, Central and South America: 100 kHz/10 kHz
• Other areas: 50 kHz/9 kHz
